Hi Marylouise. I’m so sorry to hear about your sister. I wish her & you all the best when you see the Palliative care team tomorrow.

Hi MaryLouise, sorry to hear about your sister. Might I recommend a great book called “Nothing to Fear”. It’s a great book written by an excellent hospice nurse that just preps people and their family for hospice. And I know that palliative care is VERY different than hospice and it doesn’t necessarily mean you sister is anywhere close to the hospice stage, but I found that knowledge is power when it comes to disease management and end of life care. Just an idea as you and your sister navigate what’s ahead.

Marylouise,
I read somewhere recently that when your sister decides to go on Hospice, she can still get dialysis because it’s therapeutic for MM.
